obfuscating email address
|
| |
The new post form (this one) states that "Messages posted to this
group will make your email address visible to anyone on the Internet."
OK. But most of the messages I've seen here display only a partial
email address and/or one that has obviously been messed with
(obfuscated) to make it less useful to automated email harvesters. I... more »
